I mean...I wasn&#39;t necessarily referring to you. I mean everyone in general who makes a pony plush design that just happens to look identical to My Little Pony and then gets mad because some overseas seller stole &quot;their idea&quot; and made a plush out of it. I think this whole case about somebody complaining about Front Winner is an unnecessary moot point. They&#39;re certainly not the first people to use My Little Pony images online to sell stuff. Anyway your comments were the most recent at the time so I clicked the REPLY button under yours. It didn&#39;t mean I was singling you out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-92202791374107582662015-07-30T01:07:31.020+02:002015-07-30T01:07:31.020+02:00*the links messed with the sentence prior, it seem...*the links messed with the sentence prior, it seems.

But tell me how I fall under that category. You seem to be accusing me of stealing designs from Hasbro when it is perfectly clear you haven&#39;t had a glance at my page or the link I have provided. (Otherwise you would have known I&#39;m a dragon artist)<br />This is the OC in question: http://img10.deviantart.net/e938/i/2014/360/c/a/ask_me_anything_____closed__by_queencold-d8baie8.png<br />http://orig13.deviantart.net/9913/f/2014/183/c/8/c819dff5462023bd6f696968077ec82e-d7oz1tm.png<br />I don&#39;t see how that puts me in the same position as people who sell plushes of canon characters, recolors or sell traced work. I don&#39;t even sell my work because it&#39;s fanart, not even my own characters.<br /><br />Anyway, the situation has been resolved and Frontwinner was very civil with me.QueenColdhttp://queencold.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-39349305689405157992015-06-27T02:42:48.727+02:002015-06-27T02:42:48.727+02:00Half the people on DA are stealing the basic desig...Half the people on DA are stealing the basic design from Hasbro ponies when they make their own only plushies, even using the same color scheme and little picture on the butt. How is that any different? ? I find it funny to hear artists on DA whining because their plush design was &quot;stolen and used&quot; by front winner when the artist also stole the design from Hasbro! That does not make you any better than the people front winner. You cannot use a hasbro design to base your own pony off of then get mad because some overseas website uses your design! You are stealing too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-52841289513559309132015-06-05T01:48:59.099+02:002015-06-05T01:48:59.099+02:00 totally i gree !! totally i gree !!Pukygusonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-47004356530994334032015-06-05T01:36:42.398+02:002015-06-05T01:36:42.398+02:00 the plush should in many -.- countrys (to us to a... the plush should in many -.- countrys (to us to australia , in japan is in a claws machines), the patters is to diferent to DA plush makers artist because FW have an plush designer and FW use the same patter for diferets propouses( make a RD o Fire fly pony for example)<br /> and pony is not only , can found pokemons funkos and gashaponesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-36896284073145061872015-05-16T00:31:04.696+02:002015-05-16T00:31:04.696+02:00A year later and nothing&#39;s changed.

Their bootleg products are sold on Ebay as well. I know this, because my watchers look out for me and are nice enough to let me know when they run into things like this.<br />When comes to canonical characters, it is hard to tell whether or not Frontwinner is stealing from artists on Deviantart - though that they are stealing from Hasbro is obvious, let&#39;s not forget that - but in this case it cannot be disputed: http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODAwWDYwMA==/z/HAgAAOSwrklVU4GP/$_57.JPG<br />Honestly, though.

Unless they are buying the plush, deconstructing it, and COPYING the artists own PATTERN for making the plush, then I don&#39;t see a single legal thing wrong with this, nor do i consider it &quot;copying&quot;. As an artist myself, i feel personally people need to calm down because as plush artists, when they choose to recreate a already well known character,. you can&#39;t just say &quot;COPYINGGG&quot; because it&#39;s not your own character and people can easily research the character and make their own plush version.<br /><br />I think that the biggest issue with these plush makers are they are worried because they have made and continue to rely on most of their services being from plush requests of well known characters where good quality plushes of them are hard to, if not impossible to find, and having a manufacturer now mass producing them, it obviously will affect their market, but that&#39;s something any FANART fiber/crafter has to deal with and learn to re brand or market themselves to cope. To get mad at the manufacturer is kinda unfair especially when it again is a WELL KNOWN, non artist original character.SaxyElihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01823520399769438630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-80992695207721711882014-05-22T01:57:12.011+02:002014-05-22T01:57:12.011+02:00That&#39;s why i hate plushie-maker from dA, every...That&#39;s why i hate plushie-maker from dA, everything is about money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5670051005803498800.post-55607449239736824362014-05-19T03:09:54.244+02:002014-05-19T03:09:54.244+02:00To me, it&#39;s such a grey area.

Yet, while many artists (of all kinds) look at other art for inspiration, this company isn&#39;t exactly doing it to put their own twist onto things. <br /><br />And while the end product probably isn&#39;t a exact replica... it&#39;s still, just, a blah type of practice.<br /><br />Even if they ask people not to submit deviantart images, the people who submit images will still more than likely be using someone&#39;s fan plush.
